SAMA - St. Andrew's Medical Assistance |
|
Outreach program
of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church 13601 Saratoga Ave. Saratoga, California 95070 USA (408) 867-3493 |
SAMA exists to provide hope and healing to a hurting world. We raise
funds annually through our annual Middle Eastern Feast and Auction
and our Christmas Crafts sale. Medical Programs
SAMA supports in the Holy Land include:
Ahli Arab Hospital (the only Christian hospital in Gaza), and the
Four Homes of Mercy (a home for the severely disabled based in Jerusalem).
As part of St. Andrew's 50th anniversary celebration, SAMA raised almost $5,000 which (in conjunction with Episcopal Relief and Development) purchased 965 specially-treated mosquito nets to prevent malaria in Africa.
The SAMA program is an outgrowth of Winifred Frost's bequest to support foreign health care through the Episcopal Fund for Relief and Development. As a volunteer, you can participate in the SAMA project. The gift of your time, talent and treasure will be a valuable contribution to the program. This is http://st-andrews-sama.org/ |
